POLITICS For many years Waldron Leard of the History Room in Kingsboro , has been considered a "political historian." Of the many election tales he has collected over the years, the following are two of the best stories relating to our area, which of late has come to be known as the "- " riding. The Hon. Joseph Dingwell decided that he didn't want to run in the 1863 election. He showed up at his nominating meeting, resigned, and nominated his own replacement, John Sutherland . The people gathered at the meeting were shocked. Mr. Sutherland was not in attendance at the meeting. The meeting, en mass, proceeded to a barn where John Sutherland was found to be helping to deliver a foal in the barn. He accepted and was later elected. At a Grit nominating meeting in second Kings in 1920, a hat was passed at the close of a meeting to defray expenses. An older farmer who had come to see the fun was quite deaf and spoke very loudly to hear himself speak. When the hat came to him he asked what it was for. He answered in a loud voice, "I won't give a plugged nickel to elect any grits." Looking around the room he quickly decided he was in hostile territory. Sighing, he reached into his wallet and roared, "Okay boy, here is $5.00 to beat a bunch of Tories."
